Unknown User Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Top Albums 20 Camila Cabello - Camila As vocal as I am about hating Ms. Cabello, there are some points she has made on her debut. While she collaborated with a lot of people on the album's lyrics, it becomes apparent she did write some herself on "Consequences" where she thinks "Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet" is a clever lyric. But there are some good vocal moments on this record for sure. Highlights: "Something's Gotta Give", "Into It" 19 Little Mix - LM5 Little Mix comes to form as a girl group on the highly feminist and liberal album LM5. In many ways, this album waters down the politically powered themes seen on Dirty Computer for a much younger audience. If they were gonna break the US, this record coupled with a Nicki Minaj feature was probably their best shot. Highlights: "More than Words", "Strip" 18 Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - A Star is Born I'm still yet to watch the movie. This soundtrack, however, does not need the listener to have watched the film to strike a chord with them. Gaga and Cooper pour their hearts out on this country influence powered pop album. "Shallow" has a good chance to get it some Grammy and Oscar nods next year. Highlights: "I'll Never Love Again", "Shallow" 17 Sophie - Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides As someone who is new to Sophie (and PC music in general), this album took time to grow on me. All but one song is written by Sophie alone. Do not listen to it with a high volume on headphones, but this avant garde record is definitely worth a listen in general. Highlights: "It's Okay to Cry", "Whole New World / Pretend World" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 LOVE Camila's debut album! It's so good. I can literally listen to it from start to finish and adore every track. She's amazing! OBVIOUSLY the ASIB soundtrack is mind blowing and next level. She deserves every bit of praise for the soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown User Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Top Albums 16 Brandi Carlile - By the Way, I Forgive You This is an amazing album. I was kinda reluctant to listen to it at first because it stole Sweetener's AOTY spot. But it does honestly serve Americana excellence, there are parts where you will feel like you're listening to an Adele album. Highlights: "The Joke", "The Mother" 15 Ella Mai - Ella Mai If there's a current new artist that is sure to have a promising career ahead of her, its Ella Mai. She serves R&B excellence on an album backed by modern trap productions. Its full of personality. Highlights: "Boo'd Up", "Sauce" 14 Christina Aguilera - Liberation Although it failed to make a dent commercially, Christina Aguilera served a great comeback effort with Liberation. The album explores every phase of Christina's life since her last album release, and does so without any filler. Liberation now boasts two nominations at the upcoming Grammys. Highlights: "Maria", "Pipe" 13 Blackpink - Blackpink in Your Area We first heard this album in the form of several EPs split up. However, the K-pop EPs come together amazingly on Blackpink's first full-length studio album. It has several bops on it, serving cohesion, but the sombre folk-pop song "Stay" stands out here. Highlights: "Stay", "Forever Young" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown User Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Top Albums 12 Charlie Puth - Voicenotes A major improvement from Puth's debut album, Voicenotes is pop music with very little influence from other genres. He was determined to prove his detractors wrong and succeeds by making a solid record. Highlights: "Boy", "Slow it Down" 11 Nicki Minaj - Queen Queen is Minaj's most cohesive album to date. Despite all the backlash currently surrounding her, she definitely delivered a great rap album. She throws in a few subliminal disses but perfectly manages to capture her talent. Highlights: "LLC", "Good Form" 10 Cardi B - Invasion of Privacy Cardi B's Invasion enters at #10 on MTrain's 2018 Year end chart. Cardi pretty much ruled the year commercially, what she also did is delivered a great rap album with cohesion despite several featured artists. Best Life is the only filler. Highlights: "Money Bag", "I Like It" 9 Robyn - Honey This is pretty much one of the best albums I've heard all year. The reason its not higher is because I discovered it two days ago. Its a breathtaking pop record with innovative production, and has a fresh sound. Between the Lines' thumping beat will get anyone addicted in no time. Highlights: "Honey", "Between the Lines" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown User Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 The top 8 albums will be revealed on Christmas day. Enjoy my songs list in the meanwhile Top Songs 50 Selena Gomez - Back to You Just a heads up that this is her only entry on the list this year. Selena, who topped last year's tally with Fetish returns again with Back to You. A guitar-backed pop song, miss Gomez sings about wanting to go back to a relationship/acquaintance. In a similar fashion to Miley Cyrus' "BB Talk", these thoughts occur when she is "lying close to someone else" 49 Mariah Carey - The Distance f/ Ty Dolla $ign Carey tells the story about a relationship which people are jealous of and want to fail, but it goes strong anyway. This toasty R&B jam was released in late October, and also has a lyric about it. Ty Dolla $ign also delivers the best verse I've heard from him. Some people relate it to a runner in a race instead of a relationship. 48 Charli XCX & Troye Sivan - 1999 This song is a traditional pop offering. Sivan and XCX team up to deliver ATRL's wet dream. Its as poppy as it gets, with lyrics about wanting to go back to the year 1999. Note that they would have been 7 and 4 years old respectively, and this is a time when 9/11 and the legalization of gay marriage were still impending. Be careful what you wish for 47 Cardi B - Bickenhead Cardi B snaps on this ditty from her debut album. This is where rap music becomes super fun, and fans of rap and pop meet an understanding of what songs should slay the charts. This is arguably one of the best songs on the record and also of the year. It definitely needs to be released as a single down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloröx Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Queen is a good album indeed. I don't get the hatred. Yeah, Nicki is trash but her music slay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown User Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Top Songs 46 Christina Aguilera - Fall in Line f/ Demi Lovato This is a power pop ballad. It probably talks about their time with Disney and the elites of the music industry 45 Ella Mai - Boo'd Up R&B excellence. Ella Mai has definitely been one of those singers that aren't in-your-face but deliver quality as well as successful records 44 Little Mix - Woman like Me f/ Nicki Minaj This is a girl-power pop bop. I also have a sweet spot for it due to Minaj giving a shoutout to her Indian daddy on here. x 43 Meghan Trainor - No Excuses I don't think anybody expected not to see this song on my list. On the closest thing she got to a hit in the last two years, Meghan Trainor delivers sassy lyrics over an addictive pop hook. Its a pop song with country influences which comes right in time for the Me Too and Times Up movements, serving up lyrics about respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown User Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Top Songs 42 Mariah Carey - Caution The title track from one of the year's best albums, it delivers a note of caution to Carey's partner. Its chill and R&B. 41 Nicki Minaj - LLC Another track where Minaj owns up to her Indian roots. This is an anthem and one of the best on Queen if not the best. She serves a little bit of sass, disses, and most of all, words about her love of curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
